Sellers and their affiliates (other than any of the Transferred Subsidiaries) shall retain or assume all liabilities and obligations under or with respect to the Retained Benefit Plans, whether arising before, on or after the Applicable Closing Date (such liabilities and obligations shall be deemed Retained Liabilities for all purposes under this Agreement notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement), and neither Purchaser nor any of its affiliates (including, after the Applicable Closing Date, any of the Transferred Subsidiaries) shall sponsor, contribute to or maintain, or have any liability with respect to, any of the Retained Benefit Plans, other than the Purchaser Retention Payment described in Section 6.11 hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) any employee or former employee working in the Business who (i) as of the Applicable Closing Date is receiving or eligible to receive short-term disability benefits under a Retained Benefit Plan, or (ii) as of the Applicable Closing Date is receiving or is in an eligibility waiting or exclusion period for purposes of receiving long-term disability benefits under a Retained Benefit Plan, shall become eligible or continue to be eligible, as applicable, to receive such benefits under a Retained Benefit Plan and (b) Sellers and their affiliates (other than the Transferred Subsidiaries) will assume or retain any obligations under Section 4980B of the Code, Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA, or similar state Law (“COBRA”) with respect to employees and any other qualified beneficiaries (i) who are enrolled in COBRA continuation coverage under a Retained Benefit Plan as of the Applicable Closing Date, or (ii) with respect to whom a COBRA qualifying event occurred on or prior to the Applicable Closing Date. Following the Applicable Closing Date, each Transferred Employee shall be permitted to elect to take distribution (subject to applicable Law) of his or her vested accounts under any Retained Benefit Plan that is a U.S. tax-qualified defined contribution plan and, if a Transferred Employee so elects, to roll them over, directly or otherwise, in accordance with applicable Law, to an individual retirement account or to a U.S. tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan established or maintained by Purchaser or a Transferred Subsidiary (the “Buyer U.S. Defined Contribution Plans”), and Purchaser and Sellers shall reasonably cooperate to facilitate the direct rollover of distributions, including loan balances, to the Buyer U.S. Defined Contribution Plans where elected by the Transferred Employee. Effective as of 12:01 a.m. on the Applicable Closing Date, Purchaser shall assume or a Transferred Subsidiary shall retain (as applicable) and honor in accordance with their terms the Assumed Benefit Plans and shall be solely responsible for all liabilities under the Assumed Benefit Plans, whether arising before, on or after the applicable Closing (such liabilities and obligations shall be Assumed Liabilities for all purposes under this Agreement), and Sellers shall not sponsor, contribute to or maintain, or have any liability with respect to, the Assumed Benefit Plans.
Employees; Benefit Plans (a) Following the Closing Date, BHB may choose to maintain any or all of the LSBG Benefit Plans in its sole discretion. Effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, LSBG shall terminate any LSBG Benefit Plans for which participant consent is not required and that BHB has requested to be terminated by providing written notice to LSBG at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing Date. No later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, LSBG shall provide BHB with evidence that such LSBG Benefit Plans have been terminated. However, for any LSBG Benefit Plan terminated for which there is a comparable BHB Benefit Plan of general applicability (other than the defined benefit pension plan or any nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements maintained by BHB), BHB shall take all reasonable action so that employees of LSBG shall be entitled to participate in such BHB Benefit Plan to the same extent as similarly-situated employees of BHB (it being understood that inclusion of the employees of LSBG in the BHB Benefit Plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans). BHB shall cause each BHB Benefit Plan in which employees of LSBG are eligible to participate to take into account for purposes of eligibility and vesting under the BHB Benefit Plans (but not for purposes of benefit accrual) the service of such employees with LSBG and its Subsidiaries to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by LSBG (other than for the defined benefit pension plan or any nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements maintained by BHB); provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. Nothing herein shall limit the ability of BHB to amend or terminate any of the LSBG Benefit Plans or BHB Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms at any time; provided, however, that BHB shall continue to maintain the LSBG Benefit Plans (other than stock-based or incentive plans and the defined benefit pension plan and any nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements) for which there is a comparable BHB Benefit Plan until the LSBG Employees are permitted to participate in the BHB Benefit Plans, unless such BHB Benefit Plan has been frozen or terminated with respect to similarly-situated employees of BHB or any Subsidiary of BHB.
